John Travolta in 'Hairspray'
Speaking at the premiere for his partner Kelly Preston's new movie Death Sentence, the actor revealed that he approached the bullying problem head on.
Travolta told New York Daily News: "There was a bully on my block who teased me for eight years. When I was 13, I found the strength to lift him over my head and throw him on the ground, I felt so vindicated.
"After that, we were good friends. So maybe that's how you know you're my friend - if I lift you over my head and body-slam you."
